“The victim was a helpless infant boy, Joseph Wallace Jr., who tragically lost his life at the hands of his father,” said Assistant District Attorney Michele Molfetta before Wallace was ordered held without bail.

Sources said that on May 17, the child’s mother, Alyse Connors, came home to her Port Richmond apartment to find Joseph Jr. unconscious.

The toddler was rushed to Richmond University Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

Authorities said Wallace admitted to drinking beer, lubricating his hands and anally penetrating the infant with his index and middle fingers for about two minutes.
